Chief McClelland told Local 2 his neighborhood isn't any different than anyone else's.

"If we have a crime problem, regardless of where that is, we're going to put some resources out there to address it," said Chief McClelland. "But it's not because the chief of police lives in a certain neighborhood."

The Houston police chief said his department recently increased patrols in Inwood in northwest Houston, Montrose, on the west side and in southeast Houston.

The department said the additional resources go to the areas where patrol commanders identify spikes in crime.
